Once again a website error. Editing done to ensure I don’t have to type a third ———- time.
The difference high to low on draft pool money last year or the year before was 12 million. The difference in IFA money was about 2 million. Due to trades for IFA money, competitive balance picks, picks lost or gained in compensation are big reasons for the disparity at the extremes. Rank by Payroll (dead money included) IFA + Draft pool might be a better way to rank. Don’t hold your breath waiting for someone to do that math. You might get a TBI from the fall.
Operating costs can vary by cheapness. Pittsburg according to a longtime sportswriter in Pittsburg who is now a blogger, says that the other year was 171 million. DBSports I think was his website. Decent, thought out writing, Baseball America saw from public financial records Atlanta had expenses listed at 505 million, that year their payroll was 235 or 245. So that leaves 265 or so for operating costs and draft+IFA. A different article somewhere else once stated that all teams retry much spend the same amount of minor league operations at about 20 million.,
How do you get a cheaper front office? Less executives, less advisor to whomever positions, less sales weenies, less customer service reps and less scouting would be my guess. Again, don’t hold your breath on that one.
In regards to something you posted earlier, give the staff of TD credit for knowing their market as complaining about the owner does nothing but create clicks. A well thought out column on baseball appears not to.
Yes there was another run error during typing
